Hand Center

Today Suzanne met with a hand specialist to discuss the next course of action on her upper extremities. He would like to wait until Sue has had her prosthetics fitted prior to doing any work on her hands. She will need to keep the strength she has when using walking devices. But there are many things he can do to increase mobility and function, over time. Sue will have some nerve stimulus testing performed soon, to see where they will need to start. However, this was expected, based upon our meeting on Thursday with her surgeon at WHC. His plan is for Sue to come back in six weeks to see if her legs scars and skin are healed enough to begin further sculpting. But for right now, he wants her home, for the six weeks.
